Installing the printer on a wireless network (selected models only) Wireless network compatibility Your printer contains an IEEE 802.11g wireless print server. Your printer is compatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n routers that are Wi-Fi certified. If you are having issues with an n router, verify with your router manufacturer that the current mode setting is compatible with g devices, as this setting varies depending on the router brand/model.
Using Windows Insert the installation software CD. If the Welcome screen does not appear after a minute, do one of the following: In Windows Vista Click In the Start Search box, type D:\setup.exe, where D is the letter of your CD or DVD drive. In Windows XP and earlier Click Start.
Follow the on-screen instructions for installing a configured printer on a new computer. Using Macintosh Insert the installation software CD. Wait for the Welcome screen to appear. Note: If the Welcome screen does not appear after a minute, click the CD icon on the desktop. Double-click Install.
Click All Programs or Programs, and then select the printer program folder from the list. Click Tools Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility. Note: If the cable is not already connected, you may be prompted to connect the printer to the computer again using the installation cable as part of the setup process.
Using Macintosh From the Finder desktop, double-click the printer folder. Double-click Lexmark Wireless Setup Assistant. Follow the instructions on the computer screen. Switching between USB, Ethernet, and wireless connections (Windows only) You can change the way you access your printer depending on your needs. The procedures below assume that you have configured your printer for one type of connection.

You can set up an ad hoc network if you: • Do not have an access point or wireless router • Do not already have a wireless network (but do have a wireless adapter for your computer) • Want to set up a standalone network between the printer and a computer with a wireless network adapter In Windows Vista Click Click Control Panel.
Page 57
Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon. Click Properties. Click the Wireless Networks tab. Note: If the Wireless Networks tab does not appear, your computer has third-party software that controls your wireless settings. You must use that software to set up the ad hoc wireless network. For more information, see the documentation for the third-party software to learn how to create an ad hoc network.
• In Windows XP and earlier, click Start. Click All Programs or Programs, and then select the printer program folder from the list. Click Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility. Follow the instructions on the Welcome screen. Using Macintosh From the Finder desktop, double-click the printer folder.
For information on using Windows Vista to set up the printer using WPS, refer to the documentation that came with the operating system. Note: Lexmark recommends that you use the installation software on the CD that shipped with the printer to configure it for wireless access.
Devices on a wireless network use radio waves instead of cables to communicate with each other. For a device to be able to communicate wirelessly, it must have a wireless print server attached or installed that lets it receive and transmit radio waves.
How do I find out what type of security my network is using? You must know the WEP key or WPA passphrase and the type of security (WEP, WPA, or WPA2) used on the wireless network. To obtain this information, see the documentation that came with your wireless access point (wireless router), see the Web page associated with the wireless access point, or consult your system support person.

Scenario 4: Computer connected wirelessly to a printer without Internet access • A computer is directly connected to a printer without going through a wireless router. • This configuration is referred to as an ad hoc network. • The network has no connection to the Internet. Note: Most computers can connect to only one wireless network at a time.
Requirements for all devices Unique IP address for each device Same SSID Lexmark recommends setting up a network in infrastructure mode using the installation CD that came with the printer. Installing the printer on a wireless network (selected models only)
Infrastructure mode is the recommended setup method because it offers: • Increased network security • Increased reliability • Faster performance • Easier setup Finding the signal strength Wireless devices have built-in antennas that transmit and receive radio signals. The signal strength listed on the printer network setup page indicates how strongly a transmitted signal is being received.
EMOVE SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE Other types of radio frequencies can cause problems with the wireless signal on your network. These sources of interference can cause printing issues that seem to come and go. Turn off potential sources of interference where possible.
The MAC address is a series of letters and numbers located on the back of your printer. UAA: XX XX XX XX XX XX Note: A list of MAC addresses can be set on an access point (router) so that only devices with matching MAC addresses are allowed to operate on the network.
In Windows Vista Click Click All Programs Accessories. Click Command Prompt. In Windows XP and earlier Click Start. Click All Programs or Programs Type ipconfig. Press Enter. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.0.100. How to locate a computer IP address using Macintosh Click System Preferences.
